ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece's political and business leaders promised to expand trade deals with Egypt during meetings Tuesday with the country's leader, President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, following a massive offshore natural gas discovery in the southern Mediterranean.
"There are enormous opportunities for cooperation between the two countries — opportunities that did not previously exist," Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told a gathering of Greek and Egyptian business people.

The two leaders on Tuesday signed a port cooperation agreement.
They will be joined in Athens Wednesday by Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades for a third round of three-nation talks, expected to be dominated by the exploitation of Mediterranean gas deposits and regional security.
